Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

An Examination of the Cs 2 NaInCl 6 Luminescence: Interplay of Self‐Generated In + and Doped Sb 3+ , Er 3+ /Yb 3+ Ions

ABSTRACT This work introduces a novel explanation of the visible (Vis‐) and near‐infrared (NIR) Cs 2 NaInCl 6 luminescence based on spontaneously formed In 3+ →In + and a doping method by utilizing Er 3+ /Yb 3+ and Sb 3+ ions. A combined experimental and theoretical approach has...

Stokes-Type Entropic Force Driving Nanoscale Phonon-Mediated Superlubricity in 2D Materials

This Communication addresses a superlubric state in graphene-type layers in nanoscale conditions. We focus on the superlubric state based on the twofold generation and propagation of (thermal) phonons. In the first instance, phonon propagation has a local mode in the graphene-typ...

Inverse limit method for generalized Bratteli diagrams and invariant measures

Generalized Bratteli diagrams with a countable set of vertices in every level are models for aperiodic Borel automorphisms. This paper is devoted to the description of all ergodic tail invariant probability measures on the path spaces of generalized Bratteli diagrams. Such measur...

Integrating behavioural economics and sustainability criteria into real estate decision-making: evidence from Generation Z consumer

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the evolving residential preferences of Generation Z (Gen Z) consumers in the context of global urban transformations and socio-economic uncertainty. This study examines the role of rational and behavioural considerations in shaping preferen...

Nitromethane-assisted reduction of hazardous post-blast gaseous emissions in ANFO under preserved detonation performance

Abstract Reduction of hazardous post-blast gaseous emissions while maintaining blasting performance remains a major challenge in surface mining operations employing ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO). In this study, partial substitution of ammonium nitrate(V) and fuel oil with nitr...

Strong Coupling in Bulk Nanoplasmonic Nanoplatelet Perovskite Scintillators

ABSTRACT Control of light emission underpins photonics and radiation detection. Strong coupling between excitons and confined electromagnetic modes forms light–matter states known as polaritons, enabling emission control. In scintillators, such effects have been investigated main...

Consensus-Based Definitions for Vocal Biomarkers: The International VOCAL Initiative.

Introduction: Voice-based health technologies are growing rapidly, but they lack standardized terminology, which hinders interdisciplinary collaboration, research quality, and clinical translation. The objective of this work was to develop universally accepted definitions in the...

Data-driven calibration sample selection and forecast combination in electricity price forecasting: An application of the ARHNN method

Calibration sample selection and forecast combination are two simple yet powerful tools used in forecasting. They can be combined with a variety of models to significantly improve prediction accuracy, at the same time offering easy implementation and low computational complexity....

Catalysts of change: leadership's role in fueling intrapreneurship and innovation – insights from Pakistani start-ups case studies

Purpose This study investigates how leadership shapes intrapreneurship and innovation in Pakistani start-ups. Drawing on upper echelons theory (UET), it explores how founders' values and leadership practices appear to shape employee-driven innovation in a resource-constrained and...

Integrating Powder Metallurgy with Explosive Cladding: A Novel Route for Bimetallic Copper–Steel Tube Fabrication

Copper–steel bimetals are widely used in industry. Due to the significantly different physical properties of these two materials, explosive cladding is the most effective method for joining them. This article presents a novel method for manufacturing bimetallic copper–steel tubes...

Comparative Optical Response of DNA-Natural and Synthetic Food Colorant Systems

Biopolymers functionalized with chromophores exhibit interesting optical properties with a high potential for applications in photonics. Quinoline yellow (QY), sunset yellow (SY) and riboflavin (RB) are commonly used as colorants in the food industry, which makes them suitable ca...

Seasonal Dynamics of Foliage Macronutrient Concentrations in Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) Growing on Nutrient-Poor Post-Mining and Fertile Natural Soils

Black alder (Alnus glutinosa) is widely used to reclaim nutrient-poor post-mining soils, yet how adverse conditions affect seasonal foliar macronutrient dynamics and resorption remains unclear. We compared seasonal changes in leaf C, N, P, K, S, Ca, and Mg concentrations in A. gl...
